Is HAF related to the School Food Voucher Scheme

The Holiday Free School Meal Voucher scheme run by Oxfordshire County Council is in no way affiliated with HAF. If you are part of the voucher scheme, you are still eligible to participate in all aspects as HAF as long as your child is eligible for benefits-related free school meals. Your school should be able to help with queries about school food vouchers.
